DESCRIPTION
Although you will work from the figure, this workshop puts the focus on media and process. You’ll explore different combinations and techniques of painting, drawing and collage, resulting in a collection of marks, strokes and textures that reveal and celebrate the process. You will also participate in discussions about process.
Your working surfaces will be considered playgrounds where desire, chance, experimentation, risk-taking, media, layering and surface are all engaged in a process, thus, creating an exciting experience for each artist.
In addition to skill, you will also rely on accident, recklessness, curiosity and instinct.
You will be asked to remain open to your drawings, paintings and mixed media creations being about something you did not expect and also about taking you to places you did not expect to go.
This workshop is about exploring figure drawing and painting as a creative, expressive activity. The main goal is to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone. Your only expectation should be to give yourself the opportunity to learn something new and have a whole lot of fun.
There will be plenty of art making, demonstrations, critiques and both group and individual instruction.
If you are looking for a fresh perspective for your creativity, an energy boost for your drawings and paintings or, if you are just looking for a different workshop experience, then this workshop is for you.
Prerequisites: Basic figure drawing and painting.
